Chapter 137: Sky-Rending Sun-Shattering Bow Slays the Kong Que

The Sky-Rending Sun-Shattering Divine Bow is a treasure capable of posing a lethal threat to a Demon Lord of the Embracing Elixir Realm.

Among all the information gathered by the demon hunters of Outside Qingzhou who have been busy until now, there are only seventeen Demon Lords of the Embracing Elixir Realm.

In other words, near Outside Qingzhou, the only demons who do not fear this bow are the Roaring Moon Demon King; those who can withstand a single arrow and still have a chance to survive number merely a dozen or so.

Of course, this assumes it is drawn to full draw.

For Yan Xingkong, with his cultivation, drawing the bow like a half-moon was already an act of risking his life; even so, it was enough to make everyone present change color.

The next moment, accompanied by an arrow cry soaring to the heavens, the Bai Guang streaked across the long sky like a rainbow!

"Dodge!!"

Almost the instant the arrow cry sounded, the old man suddenly extended two immensely vast wings, flapped them violently, and the entire person instantly vanished from the spot.

Kong Jing and the old woman made the same move, while Xiao Qiangwei's figure shot out wildly.

In an instant, centered on the wooden house, the moment the Bai Guang descended, everything within a radius of thirty zhang turned to dust!

Boom—

The entire ground shattered and collapsed, dust rose like a mad dragon in all directions, and countless falling rocks from the surroundings poured down.

The three figures dancing in mid-air dared not stop, spinning rapidly, watching the place where they had just stood with lingering fear, then glared viciously at the distant cliff peak.

"Yan Xingkong!!"

The disheveled man covered in blood stared blankly back, his pair of eyes seeming to have lost all luster.

He had thought of every possible method and made all the preparations he could.

Yet he never expected that the arrow, which had exhausted his entire qi, would actually miss.

Drawing the bow was too slow... too slow, too slow!

Yan Xingkong collapsed to his knees, exhausted, the long bow dropping beside him.

The Sky-Rending Sun-Shattering Bow retained not a shred of its brilliance, yet he no longer had the strength to draw it a second time.

"..."

Xiao Qiangwei struggled to her feet from the ground, wiped the dust from her face, raised her head, and looked at that figure somewhat speechless.

"This Daoist Priest really wants to give him two slaps!" Chunyangzi spat in a fit of anger, "Can't he be more reliable! Crouching nearby for so long, was it just to come out and destroy the house!"

"This damn thing, if there's something to say, why not say it straight, but insist on tricking us here." Qingjing Daoist panted heavily; with matters having reached this point, how could one not guess the other's intentions? This whole fuss was simply to find someone to help him eliminate the demons.

If that arrow just now had hit, it could have severely injured the strongest old demon; perhaps there really would have been a chance today.

"Everyone..."

Yan Xingkong's gaze dimmed; he wanted to say something, but his heart was already dead.

He stared at the few people below, wanting to clench his fist, only to discover his hand had already split open from the middle, hanging limply on the ground.

Just then, Yan Xingkong suddenly noticed the look in the few people's eyes directed at him had changed; especially Xiao Qiangwei, whose pair of eyes actually sparkled with light.

Immediately, steady footsteps sounded by his ear, and a pair of clean long boots slowly passed through his line of sight.

The loose black shirt was slightly stirred by the mountain wind as the handsome young man bent down and picked up that long bow.

"..."

Shen Yi felt the power contained within this Sky-Rending Sun-Shattering Bow and lowered his gaze to look at the few people below.

He truly did not expect these few people to be so bold.

Two Daoist Priests were one thing, but even that woman had not intended to wait for him.

Previously, when fighting Yan Xingkong, he had delayed a little; by the time he walked to the stone wall, he had discovered something unusual.

However, not seeing the figures of the others, he felt a slight wariness toward this unfamiliar thing and was unwilling to rush in blindly, preferring to listen to the explanations of the few seniors first.

After waiting a while and seeing no one, the message transmitted by the silver bell was also blocked by something; only after sensing movement within the stone wall did he move to come in and take a look.

Shen Yi's gaze swept over them.

The two Daoist Priests felt slightly embarrassed; they indeed had not counted this young my lord Shen as one of the forces, so when entering, they hadn't thought much about it, forgetting that this matter was under the other's full responsibility... However, in such a critical moment, they surely wouldn't nitpick minor rules; better to think of a way to survive first.

Xiao Qiangwei finally realized she had gotten something wrong; her heart beat faster, unease surged in her eyes; clearly, back in Tingyang City, the other had addressed her as a senior, but now, under that gaze, she suddenly recalled the helplessness of having done something wrong and being watched by a superior.

The suddenly appearing figure attracted the attention of the three demons.

Suspended in the air, they scrutinized the other cautiously; judging by the reactions of the others, this person looked young but seemed to be the backbone.

After a moment, Kong Jing seemed somewhat displeased that someone's momentum was pressing down on him; he flapped his wings and sneered, "Father, Mother, leave this brat to me!"

As the words echoed, he suddenly spread his wings and flew toward that side.

Before the eyes of all, Shen Yi raised the long bow in his hand; his movements appeared slightly awkward, then he casually pulled the bowstring.

Yan Xingkong stared blankly, then his pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw the Sky-Rending Sun-Shattering Divine Bow, which had almost taken his life just now, now silently drawn into the shape of a half-moon!

As the brilliant Bai Guang suddenly condensed upon the bowstring.

The two Daoist Priests opened their mouths in astonishment, while joy on Xiao Qiangwei's face grew even stronger.

Kong Jing even made an emergency stop in mid-air, frantically turning his direction: "Father!"

Shen Yi seemed to have a bit more understanding of the treasure in his hand; the power of the Nine Transformations of Immortals and Demons was fully poured into his arms; the next moment, the bowstring was abruptly drawn seven-tenths!

Seeing this state, the old man did not hesitate even half a moment; instantly revealing his true form of dozens of zhang, which was a fierce-looking blue-green Kong Que, its wings blocking the sky and sun crossed horizontally before its body, tightly protecting its form.

Cowardice before the battle even began!

Shen Yi felt this was probably the limit and made no further attempts; he released his two fingers.

The Bai Guang arrow, whose momentum was infinitely more formidable than before, illuminated the entire dark valley by a third; the sound of breaking the air seemed about to tear everyone's eardrums; the power of this arrow even gave people the illusion that it could pierce the sky!

Pish!

"Brother!" The old woman's expression was filled with fear; she instinctively summoned red feathers, yet that face suddenly turned a third paler; it was not due to emotional fluctuation, but illuminated by the Bai Guang streaking across the long sky and heading straight to bombard her.

She could not understand; whether attacking the strongest first or resolving the weakest first.

In any case... it should not have been her...

The instant the white light slammed into her, Kong Que's true form—slightly smaller than the old man's—was forced to reveal itself, and her immensely powerful demon body appeared utterly frail beneath that arrow.

Amidst a heaven-shaking roar, this great peacock demon was slammed against the cliff face without the slightest ability to resist!

A rain of blood splattered down like rainfall, her slender neck drooping limply, and at the heart of her entire body, a great hole several zhang wide had abruptly appeared.

Just one arrow, and it slew an Elixir Formation Realm demon!

The old man's peacock incarnation spread its wings once more, gazing at the scene before it, its entire body trembling.

It suddenly looked toward the peak, letting out an incomparably shrill and furious shriek, the long howl carrying wild wind as it swept across the entire secluded valley!

At the cliff peak, the black robe on the youth billowed, his hair lifted, only his body remaining ramrod straight.

He seemed to find it somewhat noisy.

He slowly aimed the long bow over, then raised an eyebrow slightly.

"……" The enormous peacock abruptly fell silent, flapping its wings twice in a fluster.
